Conditions: Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Summary: this trial is a phase-iii, prospective, randomized, double blind, parallel group, two arm, comparative, multicenter, controlled clinical trial to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral cpl-2009-0031 140 mg in comparison with sitagliptin 100 mg in patients with uncontrolled type-2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm).

in this phase-iii trial, after due consent and completing initial 2-weeks of placebo run-in period with diet, exercise and counseling, eligible patients with uncontrolled t2dm will be randomized in balance to receive either once daily oral cpl-2009-0031 140 mg or sitagliptin 100 mg. after completing 12 weeks of study post-randomization for regulatory submission, patients will be instructed for continuation of extension phase of treatment and follow up upto 36 weeks. hba1c will be measured at screening, baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 36 weeks of treatment. while, fasting blood sugar (fbs) and postprandial blood sugar (ppbs) measurement will be performed every 2 weeks. the enrolled patients will be monitored for safety (ae and sae) throughout the study period.
